ONE PROBLEM: Even with the trick <strong>of</strong> using the within estimator, we still<br />

implicitly (even if no longer explicitly) include N-1 dummy variables in our<br />

model (not N, since we remove the intercept), so we use up N-1 degrees <strong>of</strong><br />

freedom.<br />

It might not be then the most efficient way to estimate the common slope<br />

ANOTHER ONE. By using deviations from the means, the procedure wipes<br />

out all the static variables, whose effects might be <strong>of</strong> interest<br />

In order to overcome this problem, we can consider the random effects/or error<br />

components model<br />
